suspense The Triskelion species have journeyed far across their spiral arm of the Milky Way and learned much, but sometimes encounters are so alien that all plans tumble pell-mell. Then we are reduced to our primal selves unable to escape the face of the truly alien. We tremble and hope they pass us by in the abyssal deeps of space, that such encounters forever remain both remote and mercifully brief. A cosmos away from the Triskelion universe, you and I may safely listen.
